I did the same yesterday, and I have to show for it is a little bruised...............ego.

All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then you're all you motherfucks are next. Love, Jay and Silent Bob. Fuckin', we got shot at, we stole a monkey, and I got punched in the motherfucking nuts by a guy named Cock-Knocker.

Your balls are showing Ace Ventura, pet detective

You think that's bad, I'm sitting here at work surfing dz.com, ebay, etc, and I'm quitting my job tomorrow! now that's hard work... edit - oh yeah, you'd probably get more work done if you weren't here, either. I have no sympathy.

Sup! Congrats, I've never jumped in Houston, but have Austin and Dallas (I'm a semi-regular at Skydive Temple). I got my gear around 20 jumps, got lucky and suckered my boss into paying for a part of it, but anyways... Hola!

Hah ha... Hahahaha...haha HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Anyways, good times..... great oldies! Care to ditch work next Friday? I was thinking of coming up later Thursday, jump most of Friday, head back to Austin. You game?

EVERY manufacturer out there has had issues. IMO, it's not what issues the piece of hardware is going to have, it's how the problem will be rectified. All hardware will have issues at one point. Again, my vote is for Toshiba. and if you want to dig up issues, Dell had a major notebook battery problem in 01 - batteries were getting hot and catching on fire. CPQ later issued a release with the same problem. HP had faulty LCD's in 2000. Gateway had bad memory at one point.

what is your riser life vs someone at say - 175 OTD?

I worked at dell for over 4 yrs. Buy Toshiba. :)

You only live once.

why risk it when there are many fairly new reserves (PD) for $500? Suck it up and get a new (used) one. It's your life.

220 out the door, no problems yet (although my jumping career is not really distinguished at all yet)

She's now home. Here is her message from the CRW mailing list: Well, there I was. I saw the toggle input, but before I could react, I'd been hit. I spoke to him on the phone yesterday, and all is copasetic between us. His mistake cost me, but possibly cost him even more. All the details that I know--his elbow shattered, (no doubt on my right knee,) he has a lots of ligaments damage. Shoulder broken, and L4-L5 compressed as he did not flare landing. I thank god for PLF's The impact knocked both shoes and socks off of me, I screamed bloody murder a few times, aimed my canopy at the airport, and prepared to pass out. When I awoke, I was @150 feet,TALK ABOUT FREAKY, flared, but without legs the PLF saved my ass. Word from paramedics was multiple compound fractures.but that was not to be. Doctor told Vic that with the amount of tissue damage, he was real surprised that there were no breaks. he also recommended that Vic never fight me, I'm built like a fire hydrant Left knee and foot both dislocated. It seems that under all this fat there still lies a brick shithouse!! Dislocations have been reset, nearly 300 stitches close my right thigh. Anyway. I have ligament damage to repair in the future, until then, I'll be home, write me.. Thanks for all your calls and letters...just know, you can't get rid of me so easily!! Love ya'll

I was referring to Turtle. but I see you realized that by deleting your post. hehe

Sounds like someone has a bit of sand in their vagina.

what did it cost for new lines and slider? good to hear!

Bob already made his name/money in skateboarding, so in essence, he had representation before he even thought about skydiving. His name sold himself.

There is another dz.commer in the UK (I believe) that had a pic of him taking his 9 y/o son on a tandem for his son's bday. Awesome pic!

I'll make it the safest garage sale possible for tomorrow. :)

From my desk I am looking from Westlake to downtown Austin - it looks like ass right now.

I looked into getting it on my own for $250K and it is $90/mth. I'm a healty, non-smoking 26 y/o and it was still that high. Because I mentioned skydiving that added $3 per $1K. I'm probably going with the USPA's group policy.

Hehe. I live in Round Rock as well. The weather has been shit lately, but seriously, it will get much better. At least we don't live in the North where snow is a factor.... Look at the people that haven't gotten to jump in months. I haven't jumped in three weeks, and it wasn't really by choice, you just gotta be patient.

My dog is a pimp.

I'm sorta in your same shoes. Get with another jumper that has more exp and practice two ways. That's what I do. :)
